Clinton News-Record, 1984-10-10, Page 18From the Minds By Elnne Marejk® World Series should be interesting I like the underdog. That's probably why I was glad to see the San Diego Padres come back and win three games straight after los- ing the first two games to the Chicago Cubs. Being a loyal Dodger fan, I found it hard to pick between the Padres, the Cubs, the Tigers and the Royals. My first thought was the Royals because I remember watching them battle it out with the Dodgers, but then decided against it for the simple reason that I like the National League better. Designated hitters don't appeal to me. I think that a baseball player in the big leagues should be able to bat, as well as.play on the field. Anyhow, the Padres were about to enter their first post -season action in 16 years and any team that has waited that long deserves some support. After the first game my hopes all but disappeared. And after the second game, I think they did disappear. However, I sat down in front of the TV and watched the. third game. And of course, once the Padres showed they could defeat the Cubs, I watch- ed the fourth game. Steve Garvey proved, to me anyway, that the Padres uniform has definitely replaced his old Dodger uniform. When he stepped up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, he not only hit a home run, but drove in the winning run. plus one. The fifth game was exciting as well. The Padres looked as though they were done, but suddenly came to life. Now if they could only keep the suspense and their winning ways for the World Series. My heart is with the Padres, but if I were to wager any large amount of money, I'd have to go with the Detroit Tigers. The Major League umpires have ended their strike. They were the officials for the final game of the National League playoffs and will be there for the World Series. The tunpires that filled in did a fairly good job. Sure there were a few bad calls, but that was easy for us to say, sitting with our feet up and a cold drink in our hands. The World Series could be either exciting or very one sided. Let's hope that the Padres have saved something so we can enjoy an in- teresting Series.
